Barack Obama's Latest YouTube Video Still Needs a Bit of Tweaking...

The Lamp is TOO BRIGHT. You need to add a dimmer and dim the light down a tad. This will both give the lampshade some color AND allow the overall image to be brightened a bit more. Right now the image is too dark because the lamp's brightness is either fooling the camera's autoexposure into darkening the image a bit, or the lamp's brightness is not being properly clipped which results in an overall video image that is too dark.

Just trying to be helpful. (Ok it was a regional emmy I won, but that still counts).

Barack Obama's Team Takes my Advice about their YouTube White House Videos. You're Welcome.

....................................Before....................................
...................................After....................................... Directly above are two still video images, in my opinion the second video still is a definite improvement over the one above it (the one at the very top of this article). Many of the flaws I pointed out in a prior article have been corrected to my specifications (hehehe). I might have been the only one on the internet to critique and point out the flaws in Barack Obama's prior youtube videos. I would hope the news media, if they go with this story, credit both HILLARY-WINS.com and http://www.DailyPUMA.com blogs.

Notice the head space has been reduced and the brightness of the flag has been toned down. The wall color too closely matched Barack's own skin color in the prior video and now has been corrected. The background has been changed to blue, with a white center to outline Mr. Obama's head better. The distance to the background and the plant appears to have been increased. The red flat stripes are not as fiery red as before.

The chair is still iffy to me. If the highback of the chair did not grow out of the back of his head, it might make his ears look too big, so they probably can't go any lower with the high back. Anyways, big ears are probably a good thing as it may mean he listens to others moreso than the current president, who seemed to be too busy trying to flag God down for one on ones and appeared to ignore many other capable people's opinons.

Overall this is a huge improvement over the previous youtube videos. You can read my prior article at this link, or, it also reprinted below. Friendly Advice for Barack Obama's YouTube Videos...SIT ON A BOOK!

(Prior article reprinted below)

I don't understand how a president that staged an alleged 200,000 people gathering in Germany can't get his YouTube White House speeches to look, um, normal. The chair back is at precisely the wrong height. The result is I feel like I am looking at a gawky 10th grader.
Sit on a thick Yellow Pages book, Barack. This will instantly do two things, it will lower the chair back in relation to your neck and head to the proper height, and it will also slightly raise you in the frame to the right height. Plus, you get to keep the high back chair for when you want to take a snooze and don't want your neck flopping backwards. Add more space to the back wall from yourself as well.
I only made one change in the framing up above, yet doesn't Barack Obama already look more presidential than before? Keep in mind that in some of the original video, Barack Obama is actually looking up in the frame, I ignored those frames and chose one that benefits him by having his eye line look straight into the camera rather than up.

The american flag should not be at your side, bigger and brighter than you. The flag should be behind you, and not so bright. I'd put the flag where the plant is, and the plant where the flag is.

I'll be watching to see how long it takes for someone to point out these somewhat obviously flawed video design choices and for you to "change" them. Perhaps there is a master plan to start Barack Obama looking like a tenth grader early on, but then over time the framing changes will reveal a more strident, confident, Barack "Zeus" Obama ???

I have a suggestion. Why can't Barack Obama start with his back to us, and spin around like Captain Kirk from the original Star Trek series. To help stimulate the american economy, how about Barack Obama use a different made in america chair each week, and kindly announce where the chair came from. Maybe a pizza gets delivered in the middle of the presentation, name clearly visible on the pizza box.

Just trying to help out.

------------------------------------------------

Edit note, I FORGOT to add one more thing that I originally noticed, but they have now taken care of it. Barack's skin color is far to close to the background wall color, and now the background color has been fixed as well.

Hillary Clinton Supporters find Support with John McCain Supporters.

It can be a fantastic feeling to connect with others who think as you do, especially when they did it before they ever met you. I VOTED FOR DEMOCRACY TODAY used the YouTube Video, I am a Hillary Clinton Supporter and I approved this message in their blog article today.

That is way cool!

Please spread the word, and spread this youtube video to any Hillary Clinton Voters who are still on the fence.

The Comedy of Sarah Palin and how she got Barack Obama's Goat.

If there was one thing John McCain could do to dig a burr into the Barack Obama camp's backside, it was to select Sarah Palin as his V.P.

What I find so comical is Sarah Palin is to Barack Obama exactly what Barack Obama was to Hillary Clinton during the 2008 democratic contest. Not only are the parallels a giggle to nowhere, witnessing Barack Obama's reaction to Sarah Palin enter the race has been very enlightening.

Several months back Pastor Michael Pfleger mockingly spoke of Hillary Clinton as feeling "entitled" to the Democratic nomination (click on link to see video) Pastor Pfegler Mocks Hillary Clinton. The Pfegler line many may never forget was... "there's a black man stealing my show.'' Did you ever imagine that that very video would boomerang against Barack Obama several months later?

If you watch this youtube video of Pfegler ridiculing Hillary Clinton, Pastor Pfegler Mocks Hillary Clinton, just imagine it's a new video that a Pfegler clone has released in which he ridicules Barack Obama's reaction to Sarah Palin. ..."There was Barack Obama, the chosen one, heading for the presidency, and suddenly there's this Hootchy Hockey Mama from Alaska, and she's stealing my show"....

(by the way, you youtube wannabe's, ahem, hint hint).

The arrogant and condescending reaction to Sarah Palin that Barack Obama and his side is demonstrating towards Palin is exactly how both Barack Obama and Pastor Pfegler treated Hillary Clinton earlier this year. While this ironic joke is now playing out against Barack Obama, the bigger joke is, Barack Obama and his followers still don't get it. The audacity of arrogance and lack of fair reflection that helped Barack Obama "win" against Hillary Clinton now blocks his path towards the White House.

How can I want a group in power that is so proud of themselves they don't get it when they receive the same condescending medicine that they normally are doling out?

Dare I even bring up the whole dying thing as well? Jack Cafferty of CNN stated several months ago that Hillary Clinton should get out of the race over the Kennedy Assassination comment she made, yet we constantly are now reminded that John McCain could pass on, even as we see his 96 year old mother cheering him on.

It's Ok to talk about McCain passing on, but not Barack Obama? According to the Barack Obama camp, yes.

All of this has me wondering just who started putting lipstick on a pig, first?
